  • Roadside Flowers by Josh Shaffer Photography by Joey and Jessica Seawell
    Roadside Flowers By Josh Shaffer Photography by Joey and Jessica Seawell The Department of Transportation’s wildflower program brings back-road scenery to North Carolina’s busiest highways. Little of beauty shows up on the side of a highway. It’s where cars break down. It’s where hitchhikers stand. It’s where litterbugs toss drink cans and cigarette butts. There’s nothing much to see but a gas station sign on a pole, a shredded tire from a tractor- Multicolored wildflowers catch the eyes of motorists traveling down U.S. Highways trailer, or the remains of an 52 near Rural Hall unlucky deer. Nobody fusses much about these places, places we pass in a hurry on the way to somewhere prettier. But for 27 years, North Carolina has persisted with the stubborn idea that those humdrum strips of road should offer some reward beyond six lanes and reflective highway markers. A driver crossing the state on Interstate 40 should see more than asphalt and weeds between Wilmington and Asheville. The hot, flat ribbons linking Raleigh and Charlotte ought to show off scenery more often found in meadows — the catchflies, the toadflax, the oxeye daisies. As a driver, the sudden flash of red from an acre of corn poppies ought to make you pull off on the roadside, stop the car, step over the bits of gravel and broken glass, and walk knee-deep into the blooms. Even in this budget-slashing era, the North Carolina Department of Transportation still treats 1,500 acres of lowly roadside as the state’s flower garden.

  • Annex F. Traffic Management
    ANNEX F TO HURRICANE PLAN TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT I. INTRODUCTION A. Evacuation of the population from vulnerable areas is one of the most crucial issues in protecting lives in the face of an approaching hurricane. B. The basic Traffic Management concept is to allow traffic to flow along evacuation routes unimpeded, and to supplement existing traffic control devices with law enforcement personnel who will staff selected Traffic Control Points (TCP) within the Hurricane Regions. C. Each TCP was established to provide assistance to the evacuating populace. D. Various assigned Law Enforcement agencies and the SCNG are responsible for staffing and monitoring predetermined TCPs. II. EVACUATION ROUTES A. The SC Department of Public Safety (SCDPS) and the SC Department of Transportation (SCDOT), in coordination with local officials, identify and establish hurricane evacuation routes throughout the coastal counties within the State. SC Hurricane Plan 1-F-1 May 2021 SC Hurricane Plan B. The SCDOT coordinates maintenance of these routes and is responsible for the evacuation route directional signs placed along all routes. C. Evacuation Routes 1. Grand Strand Area a. North Myrtle Beach and northward. Use SC 9 to proceed to I-95. b. Myrtle Beach 10th Avenue North and northward to Briarcliff Acres. (1) Use SC 22 (Conway Bypass) to US 501. (2) Motorists using SC 31 (Carolina Bays Parkway) or the Grissom Parkway will be directed north to SC 22. c. South of 10th Avenue North southward to the Myrtle Beach Airport. (1) Use US 501 toward Marion and beyond. (2) Under certain conditions, US 501 will be converted to four lanes northbound from SC 22 to SC 576.

    Economic Development History of Interstate 81 in Virginia - Economic Development - F... Page 1 of 19 Planning FHWA > HEP > Planning > Econ. Dev. > Studies Economic Development History of Interstate 81 in Virginia [1] 1 Interstate 81: The Roadway 1.1 Project Length/Location Interstate 81 is a major north-south freeway in the eastern United States. I-81 generally links the Northeast with the non-Atlantic South; more than 800 miles from its northern terminus at the Canadian border in upstate New York to its southern endpoint near Dandridge, Tenn. (about 25 miles east of Knoxville). I-81 does not enter major metropolitan areas; it serves smaller cities such as Roanoke, Va.; Hagerstown, Md.; Harrisburg and Scranton, Penn.; and Binghamton and Syracuse, N.Y. It is the freight-service back road to the Northeastern megalopolis. This study focuses on Virginia's 325 mile-long segment of I-81. Interstate 81 enters Virginia near Bristol from the Kingsport-Johnson City area of northeastern Tennessee. It exits into West Virginia's eastern panhandle north of Winchester. The largest cities on or near the highway include Bristol, Roanoke, Harrisonburg, and Winchester. I-81 is numbered as a north-south highway but lies on a northeast-southwest orientation. Its entry point from Tennessee is more than 200 miles west of its exit point into West Virginia. The map shows the location of I-81. It traverses portions of thirteen counties in Virginia. Within these counties are ten independent cities, municipal governments that are independent of any county. According to the latest U.S. Office of Management and Budget designations, these counties and cities are in six metropolitan areas and one micropolitan area.

  • Shaker Heights' Revolt Against Highways
    Shaker Heights’ Revolt Against Highways Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degrees Master of Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Megan Lenore Chew Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2009 Thesis Committee: William Childs, Advisor Paula Baker Kevin Boyle Copyright by Megan Chew 2009 Abstract This narrative details how highway building, environmentalism, race and class intersected in suburban Shaker Heights, Ohio, during the 1960s. The methodology combines local, environmental, political and social histories. While the city’s successful racial integration narrative has defined Shaker Heights, its class narrative is also significant. The unsuccessful attempts to build the Clark and Lee freeway through the eastern suburbs of Cleveland reveal important aspects of the class narrative and had national resonance, directly and indirectly connecting to important individuals and movements of the era. The success of the anti-freeway movement adds to Shaker’s atypical postwar social narrative. Part of a larger movement of freeway revolts, the Shaker Heights activists benefited from class advantages, political connections and the evolution of Interstate highway legislation since 1956. Activists benefited from built and natural environmental movements of the 1960s as well. In succeeding in preventing the highways, citizens managed to protect the suburb’s prewar character during an era of massive physical and social change. Rejecting an archetypal view of suburbs in the postwar era, this project stresses the importance of looking at the variability of actions, individuals and ideas within individual communities. Singular narratives of postwar ii suburbs, or of suburbs themselves, obscure these differences and prioritize certain narratives over others, including the narrative of this project.
